Yeah, stars make millions, but if she's truly unhappy doing what she's doing, money doesn't mean much.

Besides, statistically, the very rich are just as broke as the rest of us. They have houses, cars, and kids. They spend the proportionate same amount of their income on these things as you or I do.

Add to that, they're doling out 10 - 20% of their pre-tax income to their agent, 3-5% for personal assistants, 5-10% for stylists, etc. And then all of the sudden, when they get a wrinkle, or turn a little gray, they're offered increasingly terrible roles just to make ends meet, or they lose their job (provided there's not some writer's strike preventing them from working to begin with.)

Nah, you can keep the job.

No psychic capabilities here. Let me explain my reasoning as you so kindly asked for.
I'm referring to the interview on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxh-ihSUOTk , for the times.

1. 0:58 - Heigl: "I'm going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them, a 17 hour day" Dave: "Really?" Heigl:"which I think is cruel and mean"

To me, this is it right here. Why would she want to embarrass them? And if this was a joke, why would she mention 'them' and embarrassment? Dave seems surprised too, then asks if she was filming 17 straight hours.

2. 1:05 - I know what a deadpan expression is. This is not one of them. No little smile at the end to the crowd, no sarcastic diva style comment about how it wrecks her hair, just an expression of mild disgust. There's a slight awkward mumble from the crowd. They obviously don't know how to react.

3. 1:10- Do you see Dave laughing? Smiling? His question is there to let her 'get to the joke' if there is one. She answers 'yes' and moves on (to admittedly more happy thoughts).

And finally, its not fans that were originally upset at her comments, it's the producers. McPherson thought it was a slight, hence the response in the above story. Producer Ken Levine, http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-i-hate-katherine-heigl-again.html , also disapproves for the same reasons, though his 'hate' is too much imo.

I originally didn't care much about Heigl, but the Internet also seems to breed 'super-fans' that champion this or that star and never admit that they could do anything wrong. They call people idiots for not 'getting it', and call others sexist or racist or bigoted when it's possible (like HM's comments above). That's whom I'm actually more annoyed with.

Ok, consider this: At your job you ask for time off because you couldn't get out of a prior obligation at your other job. Your boss says ok, but also says that you have to work a double shift the next day to make up for it. You agree to work the shift but when you come into work the next day all you do is whine about what an asshole your boss is for making you work a double shift.

Bad. Behavior. Plain and simple. Except that it's even worse than that because they had to work around her schedule the ENTIRE production had to work a long shift with her. and if they hadn't they would have lost a day of pay. does she care? Doubt it.

And that was no joke ( did you hear any laughter? ). It was first class whining all the way. Why would you joke about something you asked for in the first place? McPherson's comments about the support crew was right on.

Christian Bale's tirade was much worse, but he's apologized for being a douchebag. Heigl seems to thinks it's everyone else's problem so far.

and because she's a woman she can't be called out for bad behaviour? I remember people calling Christian Bale to task for being a bitch on set but that's fine because he's a man.

Heaven forbid you expect someone to act professional. Sorry I must just be sexist. BURN THE WITCH!
